Keep in mind glove size and it's effect on Jds' power/speed/accuracy. Those bigger gloves move slower and are way easier to block so your accuracy becomes far more important. I just don't see a pro boxing match against a top boxer going well for any mma fighter. Conversely, mma guys will continue to crush boxers in mma bouts.

Plus, Jds' head is a fucking punching bag in the standup for a good combination puncher....ask Cain.

I have no problem with guys like JDS or Jon Jones wanting to box with the HW kings. If they wanna go ahead and test themselves in the boxing realm, go for it.

But they both talk like they are just gonna walk right into a HW title shot against Vitali/Wlad. Does anyone know if JDS or Jones have any amateur boxing bouts under their belt? Cause I dont see them getting a shot against the boxing champs without a boxing record. It would be insanely idiotic to go walk into a boxing matchup with with the 2 best HW boxers without having any boxing experience.

Should any of them pursue a boxing career (and I'm sure their motivation is for monetary reasons), they gotta know they need to first spend a few years on the amateur circuit, before the professional fights come along. By the time either makes it the title shot, I think both Klitchcho brothers would be retired by then.

That's a rather silly and immature thing to say. Based on his response to getting clobbered by one big shot from Cain, I don't think he would fair well in a boxing match with either of the Klitschko's.

JDS got tagged so many times because he was worried about the takedown all the time so he was keeping his hands very low.
It like in Overeem-Werdum fight. Werdum landed a lot of shots because Roids was constantly thinking about not getting taken down.

In a pure boxing fight, JDS would absolutely destroy Cain.

So it had nothing to do with JDS being a bit too overconfident in that first round? Cain tried the takedowns for the first minute of the fight, but after that he was just striking with JDS. He was also coming at JDS quite aggressively, punching whatever opening JDS left open for him. I'd also like to add why was JDS so worried about getting taken down when he claimed to be confident in his ability to get back up or use his BJJ if needed?

I'm not saying Cain is a better boxer, but JDS DOES come off as VERY cocky about his boxing skills, which by boxing standards are lacking proper technique and footwork. Someone with good boxing skills would have not let themselves get punched by a overhand right that Cain threw.

Jose Aldo is a striker but he never seems to be worried about getting taken down. He doesnt keep his hands low nor does he not use his leg kicks. He strikes how he wants to fight without any fear of being taken down because of his good takedown defense.

He got tagged because his head movement is shit and he doesn't bring his hands back to defense after throwing a shot.

Watch his form and then get back to me.
